[.ca] Undesigning the Bath (ISBN 1880656248)

Lost in the Clouds:
If you are looking for any kind of practical advice, you won't find it here. The author spends half the book telling us why arhitects can't design baths. The rest of the book is spent potificating on vague notions of the bath experience. The pictures suggest the ulitimate bathing experience comes from various outdoor, earthy, natural baths. If you have a desire to create a mud-pit bath in your backyard, read this book. Otherwise, forget it.

An extraordinary collection of bathing environments:
When my architect was beginning to design my new bathroom, I gave him a copy of this gem. He said it provided the inspiration for mine and every bath he's designed since. I've given copies to few other friends who were in a similar architectural process. I've received profuse thanks. If you're planning to build an unusual bath, I think this book is a must read.

extremely interesting content:
Amazing photos of inspirational bathing environments. Highly recommended for sublime musings on the ideal bath--to built or take.
